FOUNTAIN VALLEY
Fountain Valley High School
Sometimes at night in the 100 building, screams of children can be heard. Also, on some occasions, the janitors find lockers open with all the students' belongings strewn on the ground.
James H. Cox Elementary School
Past 9:00 at night you can go to the school and hear dogs barking. Some investigators also find that dead cats suddenly appear out of nowhere.
FULLERTON
Albertson's
It has been reported that sometimes, when no one is inside, cans of food will fly off the shelves, leaving a huge mess for the workers to clean up the next morning.
Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity House
Legend says that the spirit of a little girl who was murdered in the ravine next to the house wanders at night, sometimes turning on water taps, turning off lights, and opening and shutting cabinets.
Plummer Auditorium
The tunnels that run underneath Fullerton are accessible from the auditorium, as well as other spots in the city. These tunnels are apparently haunted by "tunnel ghosts." One such ghost is the spirit of a gentleman from WWII who is said to follow visitors towards the exits then vanish when they reach the final exit lights.
GARDEN GROVE
Garden Grove High School
Rumor has it that the ghost of a girl named Lizzy haunts Heritage Hall in the E building. It was reported that in 1933, while Lizzy was exiting the hall, the Long Beach earthquake took place and pieces of the building fell on top of her. Janitors and teachers from the school have reported hearing voices, doors slamming, and the apparition of a girl in a dress while working late at night.
Midnight Adult Books
Employees have reported sightings of a man in a cowboy hat who has a tendency to enter occupied video booths and not be there when the clerks react. Kinky. Stanley House - Don't let its gingerbread-adorned perfection fool you. Stanley House, built in 1891, standing tall and proud in the middle of Heritage Park in Garden Grove, could be a ghost-infested hellhole. According to former caretaker, the building is crawling with apparitions. Rumor has it that one such spirit paid a visit to the caretaker while he was lying in bed late one night. According to account records, the spirit came to offer him some fatherly advice: "Don't take any bullshit!" the spirit yelled before evaporating into thin air. Spooky.
HUNTINGTON BEACH
Huntington Beach, Bolsa Chica Wetlands
An apparition of a young boy dressed in white has been seen around a bomb shelter, and when spotted he will run around a corner and disappear.
Edison High School
At night when driving by the Edison track on Magnolia Street strange lights have been seen dancing around the baseball field.
Ethel Dwyer Middle School
The campus is said to be haunted by the ghost of Ethel Dwyer, a woman who went to school there as a girl and later became a teacher. When one drives by the school they can often see lights on in various rooms where no one should be. Strange, paranormal sounds are sometimes heard coming from the school boiler room.
Huntington Beach High School
The story goes that a young man named George hung himself in the middle of a play in the auditorium. If he doesn't know you will be performing, rumor has it that his spirit will play tricks on the performers. As a result, they must sign a paper and put it where his rope once hung to notify the spirit. If George is not warned trouble is said to ensue.
